how large will the bubble get at the final temperature of 300K

Question

A large piece of dry ice at –-23 0C is placed into a glass vessel partially filled with warm water. Bubble solution is suspended over the opening of the vessel. As the dry ice boils, carbon dioxide gas fills the bubble. If the initial volume of gas was 5 liters, how large will the bubble get at the final temperature of 300K?

Answer 1

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, CO₂

Initial volume = V1 = 5 L

Initial temperature = T1 = -23ºC + 273 = 250K

Final volume = V2 = ?

Final temperature = T2 = 300K

Since the pressure is assumed to remain constant, we can use Charles Law:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

5L / 250 = V2 / 300

V2 = 6 liters
